Daughter of the late John and Lucia Russell (Freeman), she was born on November 20, 1934 in Winchester, MA. Judy became a Registered Nurse with a BS degree from Cooley Dickinson. The ultimate volunteer, she was very involved with St. Mary’s Church and in the community with the town Fourth of July celebrations for many years.

An enthusiastic tag sale shopper, she was always on the lookout for Sandwich glass and unique antiques. Judy was an avid fan of UCONN women’s basketball though sometimes couldn’t watch it for fear of jinxing the close games. Judy was a dedicated member of Rainbow Girls, Amaranth, the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Red Hat ladies. She served many years as an officer, Grand Matron, Secretary, Treasurer, and State Representative roles. She served effortlessly, Judy loved to travel and celebrating the seasons with all the best of Hallmark. Judy is survived by her sister Marti Handel; her sons David Brewster and his wife Joan of TN; Bob Brewster and his wife Patricia (Trish) of FL, and Jim Brewster and his wife Lisa of Hamden; her grandchildren, Matthew Brewster, Sean O’Brien, and Brandon DiMichele.

I was so sorry to read that Judy has passed, she's with George now. Even though we had lost touch over the last year I remember her with such fondness, her traveling and her cards that she always sent. My prayers are with
you boys.

Judy always kept in touch with me throughout the year. I loved reading her Christmas letters with all of her activities for the past year. Our phone calls always lasted over 30 minutes, and full of
friendly comments and sincere concern for my losses of loved ones. She was a wonderful friend.
